Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo – Get Your Gear for Pokemon Go!

Although Pokémon was invented in 1995, it continues to innovate and attract new fans who LOVE the Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. If you live in or are visiting Tokyo, you have to visit the Pokémon Center Mega Store at least once. I can assure you a gift purchased at the Pokémon Center will thrill fans overseas whether a Pokémon cap or t-shirt or Pokémon shaped pasta or cookies. Much of the merchandise is seasonal so if you see something you love, buy it. It will not be there in a few weeks or months.

Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo

The Ikebukuro Pokémon Center is the largest in Japan and has the widest selection of merchandise. Not only will you be able to walk out with bags filled with plush and more you can also take some cute photo shots with the life-size statue of Pikachu riding Mega Charizard Y and other characters. I highly recommend going early on a weekday since late afternoons, and weekends get very crowded.

Besides the Ikebukuro Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo, there is also a smaller store in Tokyo Station underground Character Street shopping area which is filled with all kinds of Japanese characters. If you are in the station head out the JR Yaesu Underground Central Exit. The Tokyo Character Street Pokémon Store is very convenient if you are departing from Tokyo station back to Narita or Haneda between the hours of 10:00.
